| USER PAGE 1 contains the Menu Line Items that are accessed via the LCD panel on the camera body. Typically they are functions that are used on a daily basis. They can be changed in the USER PAGE EDIT screen of USER MENU CUSTOMIZE. Pictured here are the Panavision Default USER PAGE 1 functions:
| AUTO BLACK used to reset the blacks of the image
| Hitting AUTO BLACK puts an internal cap on the CCD
| AUTO BLACK can take a good 30 seconds.
| AUTO BLACK should be done on a regular basis especially: At beginning of the day, or after a break After a significant camera temperature change After changing MASTER GAIN
| COLOR BAR SW turns color bars ON and OFF
| The type of COLOR BAR is selected on page M9
| SHUTTER SPEED controls the electronic shutter and determines the effective exposure time for each frame.
| ECS is used to select other shutter speeds defined by ECS FREQ setting below.
| As with film cameras higher shutter numbers imply more motion blur for each frame and therefore less perceived strobing, longer exposure times for each frame and therefore more exposure
| ECS FREQ are user defined shutter speeds. Pictured here is the European and Australian standard setting of 172.8 degrees.
| The available range is from 1 to 360 degrees.
| ECS is also used eliminate horizontal bars when shooting CRT monitors. ECS stands for Extended Clear Scan, an old video term
| MASTER GAIN changes the amplification of the signal. More gain means more exposure but also more video noise.
| The gain range is: - 0.5 to + 2 stops
| FILM TYPE changes the color response of the camera
| TUNGSTEN is used with 3200 Kelvin lighting DAYLIGHT is used with daylight or 5600 Kelvin lighting, although some cinematographers prefer to use an 85 filter in front of or behind the lens.
| FPS is only active when variable frame rate has been selected on page M6
| SHUTTER from page P12 is sometimes added to the list. SHUTTER OFF is sometimes called a "360 degree" shutter. SHUTTER OFF increases the exposure by 1 stop relative to 180 degrees, and also increases motion blur. There is no real film equivalent to SHUTTER OFF.
